It’s supposed to be the fourth thing that slips your mind. You know, you go to the store and remember the tuna fish and floor wax and avocados, but not the toilet paper.

But ANYBODY can remember three things.

Anybody but Texas Governor Rick Perry, that is. He declared at last night’s Republican debate that he planned to eliminate three government agencies but then could only remember two of them, Commerce and Education.

This left potential voters wondering if he would close the Defense Department, the State Department, or what?

“Oops,” said the governor.

How hard is it to remember three fricking things?”

Athos, Porthos, Aramis…

Huey, Dewey and Louie…

Strike one, strike two, strike three…

The Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe…

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh…

Go on, try it yourself. You CAN’T know three things but only remember two of them.

“General, this is President Perry. I want to order an immediate attack on Iraq, Afghanistan and…and…and…”

Jeez Louise. I’m off to iTunes, to download “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” by Peter, Paul and what’s-her-name…

Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I’m not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What… is your name?
Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest?
Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What… is the capital of Assyria?
[pause]
Sir Robin: I don’t know that.

@Moonshine, excuse me but being locked in Robert’s basement for so long has left me somewhat unclear on several things. One of them is: which is the good in last night’s debate? I can see the bad, the more bad, the more badder, the worse, the ugly, the bad and ugly…
